If this doesn't get you fired up for UFC 202, you'd want to check your pulse.
There's not long left now until Conor McGregor will be granted his welterweight do-over against the first man to defeat him inside the UFC's Octagon, Nate Diaz.
On August 20, the Notorious will have the opportunity to seek his revenge on the Stockton native, who eventually forced the tap with a rear-naked choke during UFC 196's PPV smash-hit main event.
Whenever a Notorious fight is coming up, it's inevitable that you're going to see a hell of a lot of promos. However, as any fight fan worth their salt will know, not all promos are created equal. For every great hype video, you'll see (very) roughly 40,000 weak efforts.
We're pleased to report that this new one for UFC 202 made by Irish filmmaker Gerard Walsh falls into the former category.

The short film follows the story of a young kid, played by SBG youngster Nate Kelly, who goes from being confronted by bullies in the street to training in martial arts and drawing inspiration from UFC stars such as Chuck Liddell.
It is very loosely based on McGregor's own path to combat sports super-stardom and has a similar tone to that phenomenal UFC 193 effort for Holly Holm's title triumph against Ronda Rousey in Australia.
